Zhao Hai looked at the Cultivator, then he smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your reminder. This is a wine that I brewed myself. I'll give it to you as a gift. I hope that you can forgive me for my rudeness." After he said that, Zhao Hai waved his hand as a jug of wine appeared. Then he waved his hand as the jug flew towards the Cultivator.
When the Cultivator heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. However, he immediately received the jug and didn't act polite. He opened the jug on the spot and smelled the wine inside. Then he took a big gulp before he put down the jug and said, "Good wine. Hahaha. I didn't expect you to brew such good wine. Alright, I'll take this wine. If we meet again in the future, I'll invite you to have a drink or two."
Zhao Hai cupped his fist and said, "Alright, I'm Zhao Hai from the Four Righteous Gang. If you have time to visit Bitter Bar Planet, I'm sure that you can come and have a drink or two with me."
The Cultivator laughed and said, "Alright, I'm Divine Ox Mountain's Niu Xiaozhuang. If you have time to visit the Divine Ox Mountain, I'll certainly invite you to have a drink." After saying that, he laughed heartily, and the giant bull turned around and walked in another direction, disappearing in the next instant.
Zhao Hai looked at the direction where Niu Xiaozhuang disappeared. Then he turned to Laura and said, "Did he just say that the Giant Ox was called Big Ox? He's called Xiaozhuang? Interesting, very interesting. Right, what's the origin of this Divine Ox Mountain? "
Laura thought for a moment and said, "I've heard about the Divine Ox Mountain before. It seems like they're a force close to the Free Star Field. They lead a meteorite belt on a planet called the Divine Ox Mountain. They don't belong to a clan, they're more like a gang. Moreover, the people of the Divine Ox Mountain mostly fight with the bandits of the Free Star Field. They rarely come in contact with the forces of the Void Realm. Because of this, they didn't participate in the life and death battles.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's good that you don't have any interactions. Let's go, we'll talk about it when we reach Star Gathering City."
The speed of the Hell King's Ship was very fast. After three hours, they were already above a large city. This city was much bigger than Bitter Ba Planet. From time to time, one could see large artifacts soaring into the sky. The Hell King's Ship wasn't very conspicuous here.
But what surprised Zhao Hai the most was that there were a lot of large artifacts parked in the city. They weren't close to each other, about a kilometer away. Such a distance wasn't very lucky, these large artifacts were just parked there. From time to time, one could see people walking on them.
When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he understood that some people with status didn't like to go down and live in Star Gathering City. Because of this, they decided to live in large artifacts. Star Gathering City didn't seem to care about this, this made things easier. Zhao Hai also didn't want to go down and live in large artifacts.
The Hell King's Ship casually found a place to stop. Zhao Hai looked at the other large artifacts and smiled. Then he turned to Laura and said, "We'll live on the Hell King's Ship. When we want to go down, we can go down and take a look. What do you think?"
Laura nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll live on the Hell King's Ship. But Brother Hai, I want to go down and take a look. Let's go now."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, let's go now." Then Zhao Hai waved his hand as the Eight Cyan Jade Chariot appeared on the Hell King's Ship. Zhao Hai, Laura, and the others boarded the chariot. Then the chariot flew down from the ship and flew towards Star Gathering City.
Not long after, the Eight Horses Cyan Jade Chariot landed on a street with few people in Star Gathering City. Although there were people on the street and they also saw the Eight Horses Cyan Jade Chariot landing, no one took it seriously. They only glanced at it and then went on with their own business as if they didn't see it.
Zhao Hai didn't care about it as the Eight Cyan Jade Chariot went straight towards the main streets of Star Gathering City. Star Gathering City was a big city with several main streets. Zhao Hai and the others were currently on one of them, Skylark Street. Skylark Street was the most famous street in Star Gathering City. There were a lot of restaurants on this street, each of them had their own signature dishes. Every Cultivator who came to Star Gathering City wouldn't want to miss this place.
The Eight Horses Cyan Jade Chariot moved along the street. There were many pedestrians on the street, and there were also many different kinds of magic tools. The entire street was about thirty meters wide, and there were all kinds of restaurants on both sides of the street. There were big ones and small ones. The big ones were as high as a few stories high, while the small ones were different. The small ones were located in a small alley, and there was only a signboard that stood tall and big.
Zhao Hai, Laura, and the others were sitting inside the Cyan Jade Chariot as they looked at the street outside. They didn't look out the window since there were too many people. The Eight Cyan Jade Chariot's windows weren't big enough.
Zhao Hai looked at the shops on both sides of the street. Then he turned to Laura and the others and said, "Everything here is good to eat. I think we should eat here today and see what's good to eat here."
Laura smiled and said, "Alright, let's see what's good to eat here. We haven't eaten outside for a long time, it's good to have a taste."
Zhao Hai looked at the people outside before he pointed at a shop and said, "This one seems to be the right one. Let's go there." Laura and the others looked at the shop that Zhao Hai pointed at. It was a Chinese building with three floors. One could see that the shop's business was very good. The first floor was full of people while the second floor had a lot of open windows. One could vaguely see people inside. Only the third floor had fewer windows.
Laura and the others nodded. Actually, for them, what they ate wasn't important. What was important was who they ate with. If they ate with Zhao Hai, even if they ate poison, they wouldn't care.
After choosing the restaurant, Zhao Hai immediately directed the Eight Cyan Jade Chariot to go over. Before long, they arrived at the restaurant's entrance. When the Eight Cyan Jade Chariot stopped, Zhao Hai opened the door and went down.
At this time, the shop's waiter ran over and bowed in front of Zhao Hai. Then he said to Zhao Hai, "This one has seen Mister. Did Mister come here to eat?" Zhao Hai nodded. At this time, Laura and the others also came out of the chariot. When the waiter saw that the chariot could hold so many people, his expression couldn't help but change. He knew that this chariot wasn't an ordinary artifact. His waist couldn't help but bow even more.
Zhao Hai looked at the restaurant and saw a sign hanging on the front door. On the sign were the words' Fragrant House '. Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. Then he smiled faintly and said, "Fragrant House, Fragrant House? The name is good. Do you have a good location? "
The waiter immediately replied, "Yes. May I ask if Mister likes a lively place or a place with good scenery?"
Zhao Hai replied, "Let's find a quiet place with good scenery."
The waiter immediately replied, "Then I'll have to ask Mister to go to the third floor. There are private rooms on the third floor. Moreover, the rooms have isolation formations. As long as you open the windows, you can see the scenery outside. Mister, please come with me." Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned to Laura and the others and said, "What do you think?"
Laura smiled and said, "Alright, then we'll go to the third floor. Right, find us a place with good scenery. We don't need to see too many people. Is there such a place?"
The waiter immediately smiled and said, "The rooms on the back of the third floor are suitable for Mister's needs. Behind our building, there's a lotus pond with golden carps. You can see beautiful lotuses there as well as golden carps playing with them."
Laura nodded and said, "Alright, let's go there." The waiter nodded and then led Zhao Hai and the others into the building.
As soon as they entered the building, the noisy first floor became quiet. Zhao Hai looked at the cultivators on the first floor. Some of them were rogue cultivators while some of them had extraordinary statuses. These cultivators were now looking at Zhao Hai's group, especially Laura and the others. Each and every one of them had shining eyes. Zhao Hai's group looked at Laura and the others.
Zhao Hai looked at these people and didn't care. The waiter didn't stop and directly led Zhao Hai and the others upstairs. When Zhao Hai and the others went upstairs, the noise on the first floor became louder. From time to time, people would say, "Beautiful female cultivators are really rare!"
"That kid has good luck with women. He's actually leading such beautiful female cultivators. If I were him, I would be happy even if I had to shorten my life by a few years!"
Zhao Hai didn't care about what these people were saying. The three followed the waiter to the third floor. The waiter then led Zhao Hai to the Lotus Room. The room was very big, about ten square meters in size. Not only was there a table, there were also chairs in a circle. The chairs were separated by a tea table in the middle. There were also pots of green plants in the corner. It looked very good.
Zhao Hai went to the window of the room and opened it to look outside. Sure enough, there was a large lotus outside. This lotus field was several acres in size. Moreover, it was growing very well. There were even lotus flowers blooming on top of it. It was very beautiful.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Good, the scenery is good. Moreover, these lotus flowers and golden carps aren't ordinary. Your shop has some taste. I wonder why you're planting these lotus flowers?"
The waiter immediately replied, "I won't hide it from Mister. We're planting these lotus flowers for cooking. In my shop, these lotus flowers can be used as dishes. Even the golden carps in the pond can be used as dishes. This dish is called Lotus Pond Banquet. It's our shop's biggest specialty. I wonder if Mister would like to try it?"
When Zhao Hai heard the waiter, he showed an interested expression and said, "Alright, then let's have a Lotus Pond Banquet. I want to see what's so special about your Lotus Pond Banquet." The waiter immediately nodded before he turned around and left.
Laura and the others also stood by Zhao Hai's side. Looking at the lotus pond outside, Laura said, "Brother Hai, why do I feel that the atmosphere here isn't right? Did you notice? Not many of the cultivators on the first floor are easy to deal with. Even those who are dressed as rogue cultivators have extraordinary strength. What's going on? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "They're all here for the auction. But I don't know how many of them are here for the Star Map. If they're all here for the Star Map, then we're going to lose a lot of money this time."
When Laura heard Zhao Hai, she couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "For us, Jade Essence isn't important. The Star Map is the most important thing." The others nodded, they obviously agreed with Laura's words. What Laura said wasn't wrong, for them, Jade Essence was very important. Not to mention the fact that Laura didn't want to count the amount of Jade Essence in the Space, even the Four Righteous Gang's Jade Essence had reached a terrifying degree. They were really lacking in Jade Essence.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Of course we don't lack jade essence. But just because we have a star map doesn't mean that we're done. I'm afraid that after this auction, a bloody storm will begin." Zhao Hai smiled faintly.
Laura and the others nodded, they agreed with what Zhao Hai said. Obtaining the Star Map didn't mean everything. Cultivators loved to kill and rob. No matter who obtained the Star Map, they would certainly be hunted down. This was because the Star Map was too attractive to Cultivators.
At this time, Zhao Hai suddenly saw a small boat in the lotus pond. A Cultivator was standing on the boat. The Cultivator was picking lotus leaves, lotus roots, and lotus seeds. He was also catching fish.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but be surprised. "Could it be that the things we're eating are from the pond?" he asked. " If that's the case, then this meal would be worth eating. "Just as his voice fell, a knock was heard on the door of the private room.
Zhao Hai said, "Come in." Along with his voice, the waiter who greeted them came in. The waiter was holding a tray with a teapot and teacups on it.
The waiter placed the teapot on the table and then said to Zhao Hai, "Mister, please have some tea. The Lotus Pond Banquet is currently being prepared. Mister should be able to see that the waiter outside is preparing the ingredients for the Lotus Pond Banquet. Mister can rest assured that the ingredients used for the Lotus Pond Banquet will be the freshest."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I can see that the Lotus Pond Banquet is quite interesting. You can go and prepare the food." The waiter nodded and closed the door behind him.
I don't know how they came up with this idea, but it seems like this meal isn't cheap. I want to hear what the people below have to say about it. "Then Zhao Hai used his hearing to listen to the surrounding voices. Zhao Hai smiled at Laura and the others and said," This restaurant is really interesting. They even let us look at what they eat. It seems like this meal isn't cheap. I want to hear what the people below have to say about it. "Then Zhao Hai used his hearing to listen to the surrounding voices.
Sure enough, a voice was heard from downstairs, "Oh, someone is eating the Lotus Pond Banquet in the Fragrant House? It seems like no one has eaten it for quite some time. When was the last time someone ate the Lotus Pond Banquet? "
"I'm afraid it's been a month. I heard that the taste of the Lotus Pond Banquet is very good. However, the Lotus Pond Banquet is too expensive. A single Lotus Pond Banquet costs 1 million jade essences. Most people wouldn't be able to afford it. Who do you think is eating the Lotus Pond Banquet this time?"
"It must be those people who just went upstairs. A man with a few women. This kind of man is the best at putting on an act. I'm afraid he didn't even ask how much the Lotus Pond Banquet costs. What kind of expression do you think he will have if he can't take out the money to pay the bill? Would he leave the women here to pay the bill? "
"If that's the case, then it would be interesting. Hahaha!"
